"Separation of Church and State." I
know of very few statements that carry so much emotion and so much
misconception at the same time. Our
education system stifles religious expression with this phrase. Our
court systems have failed America with their rulings misapplying this
phrase. Our churches have been negligent to their responsibilities
because of this phrase. The culmination of all this wrong doing has led
this nation down a dangerous road that, may I boldly say, our Founders
never intended. Hisways
agrees.
VOTE
NO ON AMENDMENT 8! & PROTECT FREEDOM OF RELIGION
NO FALSE CHOICES BETWEEN GOD'S LAW AND GOVERNMENT
 Thomas
Jefferson penned this phrase on January 1, 1802, in a letter to the
Danbury Baptists, assuring them that "the First Amendment has
erected a wall of separation between church and state."
His letter explained that they need not fear
the establishment of a national denomination; and, that while the wall
of the First Amendment would protect the church from Government control,
there always would be guaranteed open and free religious expression,
because true religious expression of decent religious practices and
true religious duties would never threaten the purpose of Government.
Government would only interfere with a "religious" activity which
imperiled justice, posing a direct menace to the Government or to the
overall peace and good order of society. Hisways
agrees.
Jefferson was making a statement that the
Government has no business in the affairs of the church period. If
you take into account the very words of Jefferson it is clear that he
never intended for the people's Government to attempt to eradicate
every evidence or mention of God from any arena of society. The intent
of the Founders was not to establish the Government as a God-free zone,
but to ensure that matters of religious conscience and practice
remained a Government-free zone, except where in such an anomalous case
"its principles break out into overt acts against peace and good
order." Hisways
agrees.
Thomas
Jefferson said, "Can the
liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only
firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these
liberties are a gift from God?"
All of these statements point to the egregious
religious usurpations by
The Supreme Court (SCOTUS). See
this web slide
presentation: Hisways.org/about/ChurchStateTyranny/index.html for
the irrefutable, prima facie "DUAL AND EQUAL AND PARALLEL" Walls of
Separation test that
SCOTUS should have known
and designed
instead of the spurious "Lemon Test"!
See
the web slide presentation for
chronic, egregious SCOTUS failures
in the misapplication of
the
1st and 14th
Amendments.
 With
this in mind, I must note that many states are mistakenly pushing
forward legislation to remove restrictions on the use of Government
funding for religious based activities or institutions. The argument in
favor of such legislation claims preventing or restricting Government
money to religious organizations is an expression of religious bigotry
and discrimination. In some instances this may be true, but in
virtually any case, the political "cure" being proposed is worse than
the disease. Florida currently has this issue on their November ballot.
Florida's Amendment 8, titled "Religious
Freedom," is a misnomer to say the least. If this Amendment
or others
like it are passed they will actually be detrimental to Religious
Liberty. Hisways
believes that sharing community taxes collected for education of
children with those parents desiring educational
options for
their child is govt permitting parental choices. There is no
religion or church in the previous statement. If you assume
that
there is then you have assumed that the child and parent are slaves of
the government education plantation; and what the slaves do is the same
as the govt doing.

Amendment 8 is an effort to repeal the
Blaine Amendment, a common provision in many state Constitutions. That
is correct; it is in some STATE constitutions but not in all of the
states (see our "Blaine" link below).

Amendment reads in part: . . .
